Bruno's Helps Martha's Vineyard Go Green w/Single Stream Recycling

Green isn’t just a color anymore; it’s a lifestyle, a business plan, and an overall better way of being. To be “green” means thinking about the impact of your actions on the Earth and on your neighbors. It means thinking locally and thinking long-term. And while Martha’s Vineyard may be a small island, we think big. Our green movement has been put in place by caring people with a genuine love and respect for the environment, as well as for all those who have been here, past, present and future. So much so that we have dedicated a show to these trailblazers called Green Island.
Whether it’s the work of Vineyard Alternative Heating, who can set you up with an eco-friendly pellet stove, S.B.S. The Grain Store, who are aiming to keep you healthy from the ground up (literally), or the Eco MV Bio Store, that provides a guilt-free shopping experience by offering products that minimally impact the environment, the Vineyard has others green with envy.
